Thank you!! This past year has been very spiritual, grieving, and learning year for me. After so much lost
over the years, I had took the time to have intimacy with God. I am very thankful to God and to each of you.
As you may know through my writings I had lost my mother over a year ago, and as I had struggled through
the pain of grief I shared my tears on my keyboard and the pain through my writings on this website. Today,
I miss her and every day that pass I pray that God would give her a hug for me and to let my mother know
that I miss her and love her. Yes, death is part of life... It hurts, but time heals.
God has giving me the sober strength to continue to be his servant and in return there is a piece in my life
I surly wanted to give back. I want tell each and one of you, "Thank you!!" Thank you for letting me be the
sober me, a man of emotions, tears, and pain who only seeks compassion for others and enjoys the
sober life God has giving me.
It means so much to me after all the frustrations trying to learn all of this coding to build a website and
then all the hard work that God has giving me to place the words and content with-in this site, but really it
comes down to the beautiful encouragement that I have received from all of you, either through the
email's, your poetry, or the guest book. Those words of encouragement are like the sun that shines, but
your words shines upon me even through the cloudy days. Most of all, the members of
SpiritualKnights.com, another Thank you, for your support as you showed your way of giving back to help
another Fellow alcoholic and addict dreams come true. In the big book of alcoholics and anonymous it
states that some of us would have to do work inside and outside of the room of alcoholics anonymous. The
work is the arts for me... This is what I know God wants me to do.... As I dedicate my life to continue to
work on-self, write, have intimacy with God, and to continue to collaborate with others in recovery for us to
find a better way to live.
In my appreciation I would like to share a poem that I have written which is part of my poetry collection,
"Poetry Away From the DarkSide."
My thoughts are like a butterfly. It can imagine a flower as beautiful as I...
My imagination can fly like a butterfly. It can fly low towards the colorful flowers and high towards the bright blue sky.
My feelings are free like a butterfly. On a sunny day, I can laugh with laughter. On a rainy day, I can cry with humbling tears.
I am free like a butterfly. Life is beautiful as I. My dreams and goals are before my eyes, reachable, as long as I try everyday and through out the years.
Flying high towards the sky, while stretching my wings towards my dreams and drifting away from my fears, I am just like a butterfly, my dear....
